"I found The Shift a total delight except after song two I was saying to myself, what, that's it?

Nectar and Capture totally remind me of watching the sunset somewhere really cool or perhaps it tugs at my cerebrum because it is reminiscent of cob webbed memories.

Nonetheless, the music itself was familiar, and perhaps that's what I'm trying to express. It was like putting on the most comfortable article of clothing you could think of on. What i liked so much about Capture was it articulated quite poignantly how I was feeling about the outcome of it all, the consequence of the ending/beginning , the ending of all that, and the total disengagement of a certaing lifestyle to take on another; right on Brian!!!; as William Burroughs says, "there's no such thing as coincidence"; and as Robert Anton Wilson put it in his trilogy, "illuminatus!" we're all supposed to meet certain people for certain reasons, of course when it comes to actually acting upon those instances of aquaintance is all up to each individual and nothing else.

I love the way Capture ends, its got this cool - positive vibe to it -- Yeah!! It's like a cool breeze on a really warm spring day -- right on the boundry of summer; but most certainly beautifully positive. It's been a while since I actually found some rock that was more than charming and catching."
